Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, have agreed to pay up to $7.4 billion to settle lawsuits related to the impact of OxyContin, a powerful prescription painkiller. This agreement, which replaces a previous settlement rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court, includes contributions from the Sacklers of $6.5 billion along with Purdue's contribution of nearly $900 million. The settlement aims to provide compensation for opioid crisis victims and is one of the largest deals in recent years, though it requires court approval and further finalization.
